St Christopher's is part of Sydney Catholic Schools - Conference C - Zone 5
Through pathways sports, students have the opportunity to be selected to represent our school
and ultimately NSW in various sports.
Selection in representative teams is facilitated by participation in selection trials.
These trials start with a school trial, followed by a Zone Trial,then Sydney, MacKillop and the NSWPSSA trials.
Zone trials are held throughout the year for all the various sport types.
According to Sydney catholic Schools Sport policy these trials are open to year 5 and year 6 studentsexcept in the case of
Basketball, Softball and Tennis which are open to year 4 and 5 students
and Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics which are open to other age groups.
Each school in the zone is permitted to send four students to the trial regardless of whether it is a team sport or not.
When selecting the students to represent our school, they need to be currently participating in that sport at a club representative level
and have excelled in the sport over a number of years.
A school trial is held if there are more students eligible and interested than the allowed four that we may send.
Parents may nominate their child for the school trial / pathways sports during term 3 via an online nomination form
No late nominations will be accepted as this hampers the trial preparations.
If a school trial is required it is held during a lunch time.
Please note that if a child has a legitimate reason for being absentfrom a school trial they may still be held in contention for a place
provided we have prior knowledge of the absence in writing.
School selections for Cross Country, Swimming and Athletics are done at the school carnival.
Students who are selected to attend a Zone trial in any given sport,will be given a school information and permission form.
The entry fee must be paid online via Compass
No permission form will be signed without payment.
This permission form must be signed by the principal and
handed in at the Zone trial.
No student will be allowed to participate in the trial without a permission form.
All participating students must compete in their school sports uniform.
If a student is successful at a Zone, Sydney, MacKillop or NSWPSSA trial
they will receive an information package for the next trial.
